    I sure hope intergalactic-capable aliens would be smart enough to understand the concept of ownership, which seems to be the sticking point here.

    Maybe they wouldn’t if they evolved as a hive-mind, without predators, or without inter-group competition in some other way, but I doubt it.

      If aliens hadn’t abolished capitalism at some point they would destroy themselves before becoming capable of interstellar travel.

      There’s a difference between owning your own things and owning things that other people use and extracting value from their labor. I can tell you aren’t capable of traveling the stars.
